It is the best time for the Islamic movements to lead the world: Siraj ul Haq

Lahore: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that after the failure of Communism and the defeat of the Capitalist system, this was the best time for the Islamic movements to fill the vacuum at the international level.

The need of the hour was that the Muslim world sank its internal differences and introduced to the humanity at large the Islamic system based on justice and equality in order to solve the problems being faced by the people in every sphere of life, he said. He was addressing a special workshop for the party leadership at central, provincial and district levels at Mansoora on Saturday.

Senator Sirajul Haq said that the JI was striving for a system in which human beings were not dependent or slaves of each other, and all enjoyed equal rights. He said the country had so far been ruled by tyrants and oppressive groups who had deliberately promoted poverty, lawlessness and ignorance so that the poor, the workers and the tillers did not rise to their level. He said that the multi-national companies were the latest addition to the exploitative forces which were adopting different tactics to fleece the poor. This was a new form of terrorism, he added.

He said that the conflict in the country was not between the Punjabis, Sindhis, Baloch and Pathans, it was between the tyrants and the oppressed. He said, the ruling parties had been serving their own interests even at the cost of vital national interests, with the result that the country had become a land full of problems. As such, he said, the masses would have to change their electoral attitude in the larger interest of the country and to protect the future of their next generations.

Sirajul Haq said that the JI was making necessary changes in its strategy without compromising on its objectives. Soon, prominent people from different walks of life would be inducted into the JI and would be assigned important responsibilities. Young men known for their cultural and sports achievements would also be absorbed in the JI. Besides, large number of women, students, lawyers, kisans and workers would also be made JI members during a special drive for the purpose.  He was confident that the JI would emerge as a big force in the local bodies elections and the general elections.
